	ESE-5110: Community/School Sustain Food Systems A growing number of communities are participating in innovative educational efforts that engage a cross-section of the community in raising awareness and taking action to strengthen sustainable agriculture and local food systems. Decreased time spent in the out-of-doors and rising rates of obesity among youth and adults has led to outcries for social change. As examples: Keene, NH has included healthy eating as one of its strategies to become the healthiest community in America by 2020; the ‘Farm to School’ movement is reshaping school lunch programs across the U.S.; and various efforts are improving access to healthy food and reducing food insecurity across the globe. When people connect with the sources of their food, the effect on resiliency and health – personal, communal, environmental – can be significant. Course participants will explore food systems and related educational efforts in schools and broader community contexts. Topics include: planning, implementation, and evaluation of school/community gardens and related curricula; food justice; and methods for increasing access to, and consumption of, locally produced, nutritious food. In addition to class meetings on campus, some field sessions will be spent visiting school and/or community-based food initiative(s) and completing service learning projects. Min.

	ESE-5170: Urban Environmental Education Cities are home to the vast majority of citizens around the world and hold great potential for sustainable living. Urban areas offer environmental educators the unique opportunity to reach large masses of people, utilize a vast array of rich human/cultural resources, and study interesting ecological dynamics. We are also witnessing a global crisis, as many youth and adults are living in urban poverty. At the same time, evidence suggests that connecting with the natural world positively affects emotional, physical, psychological and communal well-being. A healthy built environment and strong social networks also impact quality of life and intersect with issues of justice. This class explores the theory and practice of environmental education efforts in various urban contexts. We will investigate different aspects of urban living and sustainability, such as building design, energy, transportation, waste and food. Identifying and applying skills for effectively engaging learners across the lifespan in different urban learning contexts will be examined. Field trips, guest speakers, case studies and class projects explore the challenges, opportunities and skills necessary to be effective educators in urban settings. Min.

	ESE-5440: Curriculum Design Designing curriculum is a creative process, filled with dilemmas, uncertainties, excitement, and anticipation. Crafting what people do for an extended period of time, figuring out what we need to learn, how, and when, is a practical, political, philosophical, and theoretical experience. It’s demanding, time-consuming, and rewarding. You will have opportunities to craft an original 1-month curriculum (that explicitly addresses the NH DoE Science Teacher Licensure standards and requirements) for the context in which you plan to teach or for a practicing science teacher who has requested assistance in the development of an existing curricular unit; and to collaborate on each other’s science curriculum under development. We will experience first-hand, practically and theoretically ideas and approaches like critical exploration, experiential learning, authentic learning, constructivism, situated learning, problem-based and inquiry-based curriculum, standards-based and layered curriculum, embedded assessment, postmodern curriculum development, and the other curriculum design themes that you will bring to our attention. I think of curriculum design as jazz composition. We create frameworks, points of entry, and directions in which our students are invited to engage and improvise with the subject matter. I look forward to creating with you, opportunities to think critically and creatively in designing powerful science curriculum. Min.

	ESM-6010: Environmental Justice: Futures and Fictions Climate change represents a nexus of environmental and social injustice with deep roots and deeper implications for the future(s). Unpacking the injustice of climate change requires us to examine what/whose futures have been curtailed. Likewise, working towards climate justice requires us to be able to envision liberatory environmental futures. In this course students will engage with a wide range of environmental futures through narrative, theory, and practice. Apocalyptic and dystopic futures abound throughout the climate discourse but too often obscure more about environmental (in)justice than they reveal, reinforcing the status quo rather than providing us with tools for transforming it. The goal of this course is for students to develop their skills for discerning how climate and other environmental narratives employ environmental values towards just and unjust futures and much in between. With these skills students will undertake a research project-with both critical and creative components-that delves into the environmental narratives and futures at play in the contexts/communities central to their work and/or homes.

	ESP-5100: Policy Advocacy: Climate Change This course will provide participants with step-by-step skills in utilizing the tools of democracy to take meaningful civic action on climate change. Participants will learn the levers for building political will and the essentials of climate change communication. They will apply their learning by taking action in collaboration with a local environmental organizations, and further their learning with their peers via Antioch’s online learning platform and one-on-one meetings with the instructors. The United Nations Secretary-General called the 6th IPCC report “an ear-splitting wake-up call to the world. It confirms that climate change is running faster than we are - and we are running out of time” (United Nations Secretary General, 2018). But how do individuals take action beyond reducing their own carbon footprint? How can we advocate for the policies that will help solve this global crisis? While there is growing awareness in the U.S. Congress that action must be taken, federal legislators have little incentive to act unless there is focused engagement by constituents. This course positions participants to engage in effective policy advocacy focused on climate change. Min.

	ESP-5200: Policy Advocacy: Biodiversity Conservation The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) has shone a spotlight on the ways in which biodiversity is threatened and pointed to solution pathways. IPBES, in its summary report for policymakers, states, “The biosphere, upon which humanity as a whole depends, is being altered to an unparalleled degree across all spatial scales. Biodiversity - the diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems - is declining faster than at any time in human history. Societal goals, including those related to food, water, energy, health and the achievement of human well- being for all, mitigating and adapting to climate change and conserving and sustainably using nature, can be achieved in sustainable pathways through the rapid and improved deployment of existing policy instruments and new initiatives that more effectively enlist individual and collective action for transformative change. (IPBES, 2019) But how do scientists and researchers take action beyond their own research agenda to influence policy systems towards better biodiversity conservation outcomes? How can we advocate for the policies that will help solve this global crisis? Being able to translate your scientific research to inform policy is an essential skill set. Policymakers have little incentive to act unless there is focused engagement by constituents. This course will provide participants with skills in utilizing the tools of democracy to take meaningful action to protect and preserve biodiversity. There is an art and science to effective advocacy. We will tackle theory, practice, and case study research as a means of understanding effective venues, strategies and tactics for advocacy. We will engage in ‘hands on’ opportunities to build skills, knowledge, experience, and demonstrated ability. We will explore the role of the environmental professional as advocate in the formation and implementation of public policy at all scales and domains: international, national, state, and local levels and within private sector organizations and industries. This includes an advanced discussion of the environmental professional as a change agent in social, political, and economic contexts, and the environmental professional’s roles within private and public sectors.
